Pro7 is actually a german television company. And their TV quality/standards are quite low. I prefer not to do any business with them.

Unfortunately I downloaded from Steam and got the message on installation that I have to get the version vom Pro7 homepage. Just deinstalled game again and that's it. Would have been nice if Steam mentioned it before I downloaded the game there. They even mention that game is available in french, german....

But I am not really angry anyways. PS2 looks like any other shooter out there.

I thought it was possible to play Planetside with an old SOE account if you made one before the launch .I tried using my eq2 accounts ,one of them is quite old and no luck ,i got sent to prosieben.Is this a bug or this is the plan,force all european players to make prosieben accounts ?If last one is true then probably I will just delete the game,I wanted to play it but only if I can use my old soe accounts.

Only if you played the PS2 beta I believe. I can log in perfectly fine.

Unfortunately, you are correct.

I got a mail from SOE about the release and clicked on the link, wanting to check this game out. On their site, when clicking on the "play free" button, these messages appears:

Your location is: Norway

Due to your location, you will not be able to play PlanetSide 2 from the North American region website.* (star leads to this footnote: However, if you played in the Beta, continue to the North American website)

To create a new account, please visit the ProSiebenSat.1 website for your country of origin.

I knew that EU players could continue to stay with SOE if they had a US account before PS2 was released, at least for EQ2, but I thought that applied for the rest of their games too. Seems it doesn't.

As for eldaris, this kills the game for me too. Not going to make an account with this shady tv company ever.

Thanks for answers,it seems no planetside 2 for me,too bad because planetside 1 was lot of fun.If is like this for planetside then probably it will be the same for eq next or any other SOE games in the future.

if you have an old SOE account for any of their games, EQ, EQ2 etc download the launcher from the main site and use that accounts login details to play the game and you will go VIA SOE only new acconts from EU based players have to use the PSS1 crap.

This surely is a new low. I csn understand servers full, queues, bugs, crashes on launch day and 1-2 weeks after that, but not even having a working launcher? I can only imagine how support will be. They really expect people to pay money for this?

I feel for y'all but the SOE launch here has a bunch of G# issues they need to resolve. I even followed their damned uninstall beta thing. It's a bummer, and I had to launch the game multiple times to actually get in, but I got to play lastnight which is more than y'all.

SoE shot itself in the foot with this one.

This is going to get worse than GOA and WAR.

well we will get stuff weeks / days after the americans "because we need to translate it", even if youre running the English client.

It seems so far that we will even get the game days/weeks after the americans. If ever. As it is now, there's only 1 guy from Pro7 who posts once every 6 hours, asking (more or less directly) the players to debug this if they can. Not a bright future here... many of us had such high hopes...

I'm really puzzled by the whole ProSieben thing. Sony giving the rights to distribute one of their biggest titles to a crappy EU publisher that can't seem to do anything right is... well, weird. They probably got lots of money, but then again, if PS paid so much for this deal, why can't they offer a basic quality of service? It shouldn't be THAT hard.

It's not just the thing with having to use that provider, their whole login thing seems completely frakked up.

So I went to the site to create a new account, used one of my email adresses when I finally didn't get a wrong gateway error yesterday or a timeout, but didn't receive a confirmation email. The site would tell me my email was already registered when I tried again, but neither the site nor the game would let me log in (download through steam), neither did I receive a confirmation email a day later now.

So I just recently tried again, went to the pro7 site, used a different email / pass / username and everything seemed to work fine.

Then I log into the game and am forced to reset my password by station: I have to click reset and then it takes me back to the login and opens up the AMERICAN (or the regular) station site on which I need to reset my password.

The funny thing was now: neither the username and password (each totally unique, not used for anything else), that I JUST ENTERED on the pro7 site would work. You should know that approx. 10 years ago (too long to remember in each case) I played EQ2 and I might have logged in to station a couple of times after that. I was already using the email I still use as my main then (isn't the one I signed up for the game with).

So I fiddle about with the thing, I try to reset username / pass a couple of times, nothing works until I use my old email to request a username, upon which I receive the ancient username I used back in the day. But when I then try to reset it with that, I am prompted that I tried too much and should wait 24 hours. It sort of boggles the mind :p

I just don't understand why the thing would apparently let me through the launcher with a password and username I just came up with, only to send me to the wrong site to reset a 10 year old password.
